Yes. Use the rounded one.

Do flatface centralized dual bearing wheels (not g7's) work with brr trucks without having to glue the nut?

yes they were invented so you could use dual bearings with brts

Wrong! Dual bearings DO NOT fit BRTs.

The idea with BRTs is a perfectly fitting axle so your wheel cant move from side to side. That's why they made the axle 2mm, which is also the width of a bearing used in single bearing wheels.
The bearings used in dual bearing wheels are 1.2mm which gives you 2.4mm which means NO they do not fit BRTs.

Approximately how much will it cost to send one deck over to UK from the US?

Yes they will they should fit perfectly because td longboard trucks act a bit like BRTs

Yup, i use em on one of my setups

No Will, they wouldn't fit perfectly, they would wobble and move A LOT. I don't see how TD LB trucks act like BRT's...

They do. I've tried my winklers on my lb trucks and they're perfect. They act like BRTs because the bit of the hangar that touches the wheel isn't flat, same as BRTs whereas Y Trucks and Chinas are flat so they can't push the bearing out of the wheel. Therefore if you have wheels that aren't BRT edition, the bearing will slip as the end of the hangar isn't flat and it gets narrower/slimmer. This happened to my No Comply wheels when I had them on my lb trucks for a short period of time, they slipped, a lot. But I just tried my Winklers on the lb trucks and they fit fine...

Well lets put it this way, heres my truck shape: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=34dfklj&s=5
So will it work or not haha?

It would work, bu I definitely recommend putting washers so the wheels don't move to much.

Will.. A longboard hanger is still much longer than a BRT axle, so it wouldn't be a perfect fit. As Darian says, the wheels will be able to slide unles you put micro washers on.

Alright thanks guys!

Are the Nolliewheels Slim Stones any good? If not, are there any wheels with a similar slim shape?

What is the best way to attach ramps that you build onto a fingerboard park?

Do you glue them on?

Screw them or nail them to the table?

What do you do?

I used glue for everything on my park, everything is super strong now so I'd recommend glued. Maybe add nails to for some trick things to add on that should be flush with the surface e.g. quartets, banks etc

I recomend using the sickers you get free with orders, iv ended up with tons of the big round blackriver an berlinwood stickers an i use them to stick obstacles down, they look a lot cooler than tape and arnt permanant like nails or glue!

what type of paint do you use for your trucks? if you want to paint them etc

The most common ways are to either spray paint them, or use some sort of acrylic paint. If you don't want the paint to chip off, I think you can use some sort of lacquer.

^do you know that? Do you have experience with painting trucks?

Or are you just guessing?

It might not be the beat way, but it's the only way I know how.
And yes, I have tried painting trucks before. I dont know what happened to them though :/

what is fingerboard tape made out of ? is it like neoprene ?
